HPCA NEWS UPDATES!<br />
We have some exciting changes up at our HPCA Office. These changes will<br />
make it even easier for our residents who come in to take care of business.<br />
First of all, safety is a big concern for us and in the past the decking surrounding<br />
the building was warped and sorely in need of change. After a few weeks<br />
of construction, we now have a gorgeous deck. The quality will last for many<br />
years to come and increase the stability and safety for all.<br />

by cheering the loudest while having good sportsmanship.<br />

of Assisi with Blessing of the Pets on Tuesday, October 4 th . Fr. Reynolds led<br />

along. At the end, the animals were blessed and everyone celebrated<br />
God’s creations by visiting with the pets.<br />

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL<br />
You must submit any plans for improvements or<br />

restrictions. This includes re-roofing, playforts (8<br />
ft. height limit), temporary storage buildings, etc.<br />

SECURITY<br />
Hunter’s Park Community Association provides<br />
additional security currently through a contract<br />
with Commissioners Court for four Harris County<br />
Constables. HPCA also hires off-duty deputies on<br />
an as-needed basis for additional coverage.<br />
Please call the Constable’s Office at 281 463-6666<br />
to report any suspicious person, activity or for vacation<br />
watch. There is a voluntary $2.00 security<br />
contribution on the M.U.D. #6 water bill that goes to<br />
each homeowner. The voluntary contributions can<br />
only be used to pay for security. This contribution<br />
enables HPCA to provide more coverage without<br />
raising maintenance fees.<br />
